Air pollution linked to increased risk of breast cancer

A long-term U.S. study suggests that women living in areas with higher air pollution, particularly places with heavy traffic emissions, face an increased risk of developing breast cancer. The analysis, which included data from more than 400,000 participants and over 28,000 cases of breast cancer, provides one of the most comprehensive looks yet at how air quality may influence cancer risk. Researchers combined findings from five large-scale brea…
